Chapter Nine Wants to Be Official Xiao of Qiantang
Seeing him like this, Zhao Pan'er said angrily: "You are such a big man, how can you act like a child? You have no integrity!"
"What Madam Zhao taught me, thank you Madam Zhao for your teaching!" Xiao Fan immediately sat upright, bowed his hands in salute, then pointed at the items Zhao Pan'er brought over, and said seriously: "What does Madam Zhao mean by this?"
"This was originally your property. Now you can move it. Now it just returns to its original owner." He glared at Xiao Fan and said, "Also, please speak to me properly and don't look so yin and yang!"
After hearing Zhao Pan'er's words, Xiao Fan himself relaxed and leaned against the railing as before, wanting to hear what Zhao Pan'er had to say next.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Pan'er sat down and said to him seriously: "Didn't you say you don't remember what happened before? Then what are your plans for the future?"
"I've really thought about this. I want to settle down here in Qiantang first. Is there anything you can do?"
"It's not easy for ordinary people to settle down, but it's really easy for you. Don't you have almost thirty taels of gold in your wallet? This much money is enough for you to buy a house and land to settle down." Zhao Pan'er continued: "Here we go.
When the time comes, I will ask the chief registrar to take care of things for you, and the yamen will not care where your original household registration is, and from now on you will be Mr. Xiao from Qiantang."
Xiao Fan joked: "I didn't expect Madam Zhao to have such ability and even have connections in the Yamen? Then I'd like to thank Madam Zhao first!"
"Master Bo and I are not familiar with each other, it's just that he likes to come to my place to drink tea," Zhao Pan'er ignored Xiao Fan's mischief and continued: "And he also likes calligraphy and painting, and he bought a few calligraphy and paintings through me before. Besides, he also likes calligraphy and painting.
Well, who in the whole Qiantang doesn’t know that the county boss, Bo, is famous for collecting money to do things."
"It's a good thing if the other party is willing to accept money if you have a connection." Xiao Fan opened his wallet, took out half of it and handed it to Zhao Pan'er, saying: "You can take this little money first, and treat it as my thanks to you and Sanniang."
"What are you doing? How can Sanniang and I save you and try to get your money? If so, I won't return these to you!" Zhao Pan'er said hurriedly.
"I didn't mean that, it was just my thoughts. I can't repay you with anything now, so just accept the money!"
"I can't accept this money," Zhao Pan'er said, taking only one golden bean and pushing the others back to Xiao Fan, saying firmly: "I will accept this golden bean and treat it as a consultation with a doctor."
Money, medicine money and money to buy you clothes."
At this time, Sun Niang happened to come over and said: "Pan'er is right, we can't accept this money. We are not saving you for your money!"
"Okay, then it's up to you." Xiao Fan said helplessly, "Then I want to buy a house. Do you have any suggestions?"
"You have asked the right person!" Sun Sanniang said happily when Xiao Fan asked them to recommend a house: "Don't Pan'er and I live in Qingyi Alley? The family at the corner of our alley is going to move to Tokyo.
, it happened to be listed for sale when I came today! How about we go over and take a look after dinner later?"
"I don't have a problem, but it's going to delay your business again, isn't it good?" Xiao Fan said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, just ask Sanniang to accompany you in the afternoon. Sanniang can just make some fruits to be on guard." Zhao Pan'er said: "Sanniang and I have been to the house at the corner of the street several times before. It's a pretty good house.
The house, and people are in a hurry to sell it now, will definitely get a lot cheaper. When you buy the house, we will be neighbors, and neighbors should help each other."
"Okay, I've already prepared the food. Let's eat first. Mr. Xiao will have a taste of my cooking later!" Sun Sanniang said and stood up and went to the kitchen to get the food.
Within a moment, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang brought out all the food, which were all Qiantang's specialties. Looking at these delicious and delicious dishes, Xiao Fan immediately developed an appetite. The taste must be the same.
"Come and try this steamed seabass. This is Sanniang's specialty," Zhao Pan'er handed Xiao Fan a chopstick dish and said, "And this cold lotus dish is also very good, you can try it all."
"Not bad, delicious!" Xiao Fan praised sincerely: "I have never eaten such delicious steamed sea bass!"
Xiao Fan was sincere in his compliments this time. The cooking techniques and seasonings of the Northern Song Dynasty were indeed incomparable with modern times, but this steamed seabass eats the essence of fish, so the comparison is about the raw materials, this pure natural and pollution-free water.
Naturally, wild fish tastes much better than those raised on feed.
"As long as you like it, I'm worried that a rich man like you won't be able to get used to our humble food!" Sun Sanniang was very happy with Xiao Fan's praise.
"Hey, Mrs. Sun, your cooking skills are really good. These dishes are all delicious and delicious. What if I can't eat such delicious dishes in the future!"
"It's hard to say. When we become neighbors, you are welcome to come and visit us at any time." Sun Sanniang said boldly.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Fan sat in the small courtyard of the tea shop, drank tea and digested his food. Looking at Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang who were busy in the kitchen, he suddenly felt that this was the life of a god.
After Sun Sanniang finished her work, she came out and called Xiao Fan.
"Mr. Xiao, let's finish our work. Let's go. I'll show you the house."
"Okay, let's go then," he said, turning back to Zhao Pan'er and saying, "Ms. Zhao, then Mrs. Sun and I are going to see the house first. See you later."
"Then you go ahead. I'll find a place that's closed later, and then I'll go find you and help you with your eyes."
Zhao's tea shop is not far from the county seat, only about two or three miles. Xiao Fan discovered that this tea shop is not only located at the intersection of Yitiao Creek and Qiantang River, but also close to the official road. No wonder the business is so good
good.
Xiao Fan followed Sun Sanniang to the gate of Qiantang County. This was the first time he saw a real ancient city wall. He had only seen the ancient city wall of Xi'an before. Of course, Qiantang is just a county town and cannot be compared with a big city like Xi'an.
, the city wall is only about 6 meters high.
This city gate is the north gate. Qingyi Lane where Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang live is near the north gate, which is quite close.
Soon Xiao Fan and Sun Sanniang arrived at the door of the house for sale. They saw an old man about fifty years old sitting at the door, basking in the sun. There was a "This House is For Sale" sign hanging beside the door.
So Sun Sanniang stepped forward and said to the old man: "Uncle Fu, why are you here? Where is your Linguan family?"
"My officials rushed to Tokyo early this morning, leaving me here to take care of the house. What's the matter? What's wrong with Madam Sun?" Uncle Fu asked curiously. Although Madam Sun and the Lin family have always been neighbors,
But the exchanges are not close, so we only visit each other during the holidays.
"It's like this. Didn't I see you guys talking about selling a house when I went out in the morning?" Then he introduced to Uncle Forbes: "It happened that my friend wanted to buy a house, so I brought him over to take a look. You
Is it convenient to watch?”
